Sword Art Offline 4 (そーどあーとおふらいん4, Sōdo Āto Ofurain 4^?) is the fourth episode of the Sword Art Offline extra series that was bundled with limited edition version Blu-ray Discs and DVDs. This episode is anchored by Asuna and Kirito, with Yui as the episode's special guest.

Plot

News Headlines

Asuna reported the rumor about her marriage with Kirito.

Sword Art Trivia

In this episode, since Yui had become the special guest, Heathcliff took over the responsibility of hosting the trivia.

He stated that the Aincrad Liberation Force (ALF) is the largest guild in SAO that harasses communities in low-level areas and claim many hunting areas as their own which upsets many players, and even though their goal is to help others, their methods are less than just.

Playback Corner

In this corner, Asuna and Kirito commented on several scenes that appeared in fourth volume of the BD/DVD (episodes 9-11) together with the special guest, Yui.

They commented on:

1. The scene during which Klein was speechless when he saw Asuna up-close and then tried to introduce himself while mentioning that he was looking for a girlfriend. (Episode 9)
2. The scene during which Kirito first used his Dual Blades Sword Skill, called Starburst Stream, to fight against the 74^th Floor's boss. (Episode 9)
3. The scene during which Asuna punched Kirito after he claimed that she misunderstood his intentions when he said he wanted to be with her for the night. (Episode 10)
4. The scene during which Asuna requested to be carried on Kirito's shoulder. (Episode 11)

Sword Art Trivia

Heathcliff stated that, in Sword Art Online, even if a player loses a limb, the lost limb would be restored within few minutes of time.

Klein's Life Counseling

Yui's photo of a hot spring.

In this episode, it exceptionally became Yui's time for asking questions. Yui first asked how were children made. Neither Kirito, Asuna, or Klein wanted to answer that question, so they ended up explaining that children were spawned in cabbages and that they were all human cabbages. Yui then asked about something which she and Asuna had found in the forest, which turned out to be a hot spring. Yui then said that she had taken a picture of it which she showed to everyone. As the picture showed Asuna and Yui bathing in the hot spring, Asuna quickly punched out both Klein and Kirito so that they would not look at it and then quickly ended the counseling section.
